Media 100 Highest-Paid Athletes Released - 0 MMA/UFC Fighters ON List

mcgregor isn't on it? Isn't mcgregor nearly a billionaire from proper 12 shares?
 
Lol with Dana's ego you'd think he'd care... lol fukkk that.
 
They must not pay very many international soccer players the big bucks relative to American sports. There are clearly way more soccer players all over the world than anything else, but that list looks like it's only 12% soccer. Almost everything else is American sports.

The only way a UFC fighter gets on that list is if a transcendent commercial talent like Conor comes around. But Conor's star has fallen into the toilet, and he will never be on that list again.

I don't know if another one of those will ever come around again since Dana has made it all about the brand.

The brand being Dana. I fucking hate that guy just wanted to write that
 
I just skimmed through it. But it looks like basketball players have the most guys in this list.

Curry is a beast.

Dana has never been the number 1 at the UFC. It wasn't him who 'made it all about the brand'. Casuals can be mistaken for making everything about Dana, but Shitdoggers should know better.

The UFC brand being above any fighter started from in its inception with SEG. That's why the Fertittas have explicitly stated many times that they purchased a brand, not a fight company - they could have just started their own promotion if the groundwork laid by SEG wasn't so important.

And leaked emails show the extent to which they had always been insistent on keeping the fighters down (and all Dana did was cheer them on like the lackey he was). Real mob stuff. Now Ari is just running with their model.

No surprises there.

I think McGregor is the only MMA guy who's ever made the list in the past.

Not from MMA they wont, Conor made it to the highest paid athletes lists because of his Boxing fight.

Ngannou allegedly made like 30 million from two boxing fights but one of them was in 2023, in 2024 he had 1 MMA fight for like 8 million i believe, that would leave him (allegedly) at 28 million for 2024, but the majority of it would had been from Boxing.
